The sunny weather we’ve enjoyed over the last week or so is doing more than lifting our spirits – it’s lifting business as well. The feel good factor has got people feeling more confident about the current economic environment, and what the future holds.
And there is a lot to look forward to. Businesses have been refining their approaches and developing new ways to do business in the credit crunch, and that puts them in a much stronger position for the future.
We’ve seen increasing interest in our training programmes, particularly courses such as cold calling and negotiation skills. Companies have looked at the skills of their staff and want to help them develop to compete in the current climate – after all, at the moment everyone needs to get involved in sales.
But we’re also now seeing growing demand for our graduates. Companies are planning for their future and Pareto graduates provide a highly trained, motivated approach to generating business. Do you agree that this more positive mood is spreading?

The weather definitely makes people more motivated. A Radio Four report last week claimed that businesses see a 20% rise in employees turning in on time when the weather is good.
I have seen the mood change over the last week and it will be buoyed even more by the weather, US federal announcements and mortgages increasing for the 4th consecutive month.
Companies are definitely making more enquiries for sales training and sales people. The feeling on the ground is that sales and demand will start to improve over the next few weeks.
